ok, so back on the topic that the thread was created for (this thread needs a giant BUT I DIGRESS lol) just sent my eye doctor an email about getting darker tint prescribed, lol, ive had the same eye doctor my entire life and they are awesome, hopefully they are cool about it and will prescribe the darker tint. In my email i said that my eyes seem more sensitive to light since i had lasik surgery last summer (and they are!) and that my sunglasses only help a little, and that hopefully darker tint would get rid of the sensitivity while driving. ill be stoked if they say yes cause then ill go all the F out and get 20% on the fronts lol

Honestly I think tinting your front windsheild 20% is the dumbest thing you could do. But that's just me.

I wouldn't do the front windshield that is dumb I'm talking about the front drivers and passengers windows and I would prolly just do 35% still cause I do a lot of night driving.

Ohhh ok. I'm sorry, I miss read your prevous post. And honeslty, 35% is perfect IMO. My sisters Cobalt SS is 35% and I think it's just right. But I don't like tint that is too dark so maybe that's why.

That's what I figured LOL I've seen cars with the windshield tinted and its retarded and dangerous at that I wouldn't even tint the brow of the windshield. If I can still change my mind When I go ill do 35 and 20

on truck i have 5% in the rear and 18% on the 4 doors. i love the way it looks and what it does in the summer sun. but....... when i redo them i will only go 35% on the front doors this time just for the same reason you said josh, night driving. for the past 7 years iv had to roll my windows down to back up at night, espesially if its raining, i cant see sh$t. i now have a cap on my truck and that has no windows on it which makes it worse to see. remember, a dark truck with a dark interior makes the tint look darker from the outside.
